QUINTA DO NOVAL VINHAS DO PASSADOURO 2020 RED

Terroir Series is a new range launched by Quinta do Noval, a opportunity to explore specific terroirs, identified as exceptional.

PASSADOURO VINEYARDS:
Vinhas do Passadouro, from Quinta do Noval, comes from a exceptional terroir on the left bank of the Pinhão river. The vineyards are planted mainly on old terraces, in the center of which there is a 0.93 hectare plot of old vines. These vineyards that date back to 1930 are a field blend with more than 20 different traditional grape varieties, from which we vinified and isolated a restricted but excellent amount of wine. Vinhas do Passadouro 2020 is the first release. The soil of this plot of ancient vineyards is mainly schist, with a high mineral content, which includes quartz, mica and different types of feldspar, contributing to the unique and characteristic aromas that can be found in this wine.

TASTING NOTE:
The wine has a deep and intense color, revealing concentration and vitality. A profusion of aromas with notes intense flavors of ripe fruit, such as blackberry, black cherry and plum. Aromas of spices, black pepper, cloves and cinnamon add complexity. The tannins are firm and well integrated, providing a solid and elegant structure. It is full-bodied, with a velvety texture that fills the mouth. It's complex and deep, unfolding into aromatic expressions as the time in the cup. The aging potential is great and, with the time, it will gain greater aromatic complexity and smoothness in the tannins. Although it is delicious now, its true essence will be revealed after a few years of storage.
